Shaving

I love the pre-school C attends. They do some many fun things. He has been anticipating the new unit of the Bippity-Bop beauty shop. Yes the girls get to get there hair done but even better the boys get to pretend to shave. What little boy doesn't watch there dad shave every morning and wonder what it is like. The past few days C and his little buddy spent at least 45min in the bathroom shaving. They had a blast. As you can see the shaving cream was left out. This picture was taken after most of it had been wiped off M face and jacket.

Beauty Shop




The other night we had some time on our hands. J loves to play beauty shop. Next thing I know she had all the make-up out and I was looking well like this. Even M wanted to join in the fun. I love this picture you can see she has lost all 4 front teeth. What a great smile!

Hey Cutie

Who knew my old clogging slip would come in handy so many years later.

Our dog Saber


I used to be the one pulling the kids, until I remembered we have a sled dog. He comes in handy during the winter months. The first time I tried out the harness I didn't use the leash. He took off and I thought I was never going to see the kids again. I was chasing him down and for some reason I had Ryan's big beefy snow boots on. Between the boots and the snow I got no where fast. I yelled at the kids to bail, but thank goodness he stopped before anything tragic happened. Good Job mom! What was I thinking.




Annual Gingerbread House



Thank you R for taking over this project. I hadn't been feeling well and the kids love doing this project. I love all the detail you put into it. You can't see it now but he even had icicles hanging from the roof tops (nice touch). Thanks for not putting boys rule on the side of the house this year.
